No rtw blog would be complete without the infamous packing list. It serves as a resource for those other brave souls who climb on the rtw bus after us. It is meticulously curated to ensure pragmatic efficiency. Fashion, sadly, takes a subservient role.

MacBook Pro (despite much advice from seasoned travelers, I’m only taking my iPad – lugging my 13” MacBook across continents flies in the face of simplification, so I am leaving it in Seattle & hope not to regret it)

I should note that we’ve packed a box of winter clothes to be sent to meet us in Germany. Now if only it all goes as planned…as I appreciate we won’t really know what we needed and what we could have left behind until we’re actually on the road!

Here are the kids getting fitted in their packs. Julia has named hers Orville. Hmmm. Kid’s got an itch for popcorn. Sean chose not to name his because “boys don’t name things.” O-k-a-y. They think this is fun now because the packs are not filled with 30lbs as we trek in 90 degree heat through Northern Vietnam. The kids were given an option to pick patches to distinguish their packs. Julia picked a brittany spaniel Mickey-look-alike patch and a Valkyrie patch (a female warrior AND the name of her soccer team). Sean chose not to pick a patch because “boys don’t do that.” What a shame he wasn’t wearing his scouts shirt with a dozen or so patches on it when he told me that. I could have looked at him cross-eyed.
